Weigh in: Week Twenty Nine
This weekend I ate the worst food I have eaten in more than twenty nine weeks. We got together with some friends on Friday night and Saturday night and we at "junk food". When you are invited to a friend’s house for a party, or have one for yourself, and everyone brings "whatever" it seems

Doing the Panera Bread thing again
I’ve written about Panera before. How it, and other cafes with free wifi, provide a good solid atmosphere for clearing your head all while getting some work done. Mike thinks I smell, so he is over there. Atmosphere definitely lends itself to attitude – so if you find yourself slugging behind a little – get

Finger puppets from Niagara Falls in 2003
Google recently announced the release of their patent search. I thought I’d do a little sniffing around to see what I could find and to my surprise I stumbled onto this patent for a "Finger puppet". In June 2003 Eliza, Chris, and I went to Niagara Falls. We had a great time even though I

Five questions for successful dieters
While doing some dishes today I thought of starting a "meme" of sorts. How could I capture the reasons why I think I’ve been successful on the diet and help to encourage those who have not, or who have yet to start their diet. I’ve come up with these five questions, and hopefully my answers

I need more storage so that…
I need more storage so that… I don’t have to make rash decisions on what personal data to keep (especially photos) just because I’m running out of room on my laptop. I love using a laptop as my main computer. It’s portable, compact, and works almost as well as a desktop. Currently the main caveat

Weigh in: Week Twenty Eight
Last week I was 189.6 pounds and this week I’m up 0.4 pounds and sitting pretty at 190.0 pounds. Let me tell you thought, this is a miracle in itself due to the amount of food I ate. Eliza had some family in this past weekend and she made lasagna (one of many of my

A dead field mouse
If you were to go to Amazon.com, or any other service that allows you to create a wish list, and created a wish list – I doubt that a dead field mouse would be in your selections. Apparently my cat thought that a dead field mouse was a perfect gift for me, which is exactly

Weigh in: Week Twenty Seven
I weighed in this morning at 189.6 pounds, up 3 pounds since 8 weeks ago. I am very surprised at this number since I thought I’d have gained more than only 3 pounds in that amount of time. My plan is to get down to 185 pounds, and I’d like those 185 pounds to be

Re: The usefulness of Microformats
Kyle Kneath recently wrote I just don’t get this whole Microformats thing and I wanted to take a minute to respond to him. Kyle is doubting the usefulness of Microformats, and is also saying that he thinks the learning curve is too hard because of the documentation making things "too hard". First I’ll address his

The state of the diet
I’ve been asked in many ways about the state of the-diet. I’ve put off an update until I had chosen a direction to go with it since I’m now in a different stage of the diet than I was before. It took me about 20 weeks to get close to my goal. I never actually
